python equivalent of R table
Solution 1:
Pandas has a built-in function called value_counts()
.
Example: if your DataFrame has a column with values as 0's and 1's, and you want to count the total frequencies for each of them, then simply use this:
df.colName.value_counts()
Solution 2:
A Counter
object from the collections
library will function like that.
from collections import Counter
x = [[12, 6], [12, 0], [0, 6], [12, 0], [12, 0], [6, 0], [12, 6], [0, 6], [12, 0], [0, 6], [0, 6], [12, 0], [0, 6], [6, 0], [6, 0], [12, 0], [6, 0], [12, 0], [12, 0], [0, 6], [0, 6], [12, 6], [6, 0], [6, 0], [12, 6], [12, 0], [12, 0], [0, 6], [6, 0], [12, 6], [12, 6], [12, 6], [12, 0], [12, 0], [12, 0], [12, 0], [12, 6], [12, 0], [12, 0], [12, 6], [0, 6], [0, 6], [6, 0], [12, 6], [12, 6], [12, 6], [12, 6], [12, 6], [12, 0], [0, 6], [6, 0], [12, 0], [0, 6], [12, 6], [12, 6], [0, 6], [12, 0], [6, 0], [6, 0], [12, 6], [12, 0], [0, 6], [12, 0], [12, 0], [12, 0], [6, 0], [12, 6], [12, 6], [12, 6], [12, 6], [0, 6], [12, 0], [12, 6], [0, 6], [0, 6], [12, 0], [0, 6], [12, 6], [6, 0], [12, 6], [12, 6], [12, 0], [12, 0], [12, 6], [0, 6], [6, 0], [12, 0], [6, 0], [12, 0], [12, 0], [12, 6], [12, 0], [6, 0], [12, 6], [6, 0], [12, 0], [6, 0], [12, 0], [6, 0], [6, 0]]
# Since the elements passed to a `Counter` must be hashable, we have to change the lists to tuples.
x = [tuple(element) for element in x]
freq = Counter(x)
print freq[(12,6)]
# Result: 28
Solution 3:
Supposing you need to convert the data to a pandas DataFrame anyway, so that you have
L = [[12, 6], [12, 0], [0, 6], [12, 0], [12, 0], [6, 0], [12, 6], [0, 6], [12, 0], [0, 6], [0, 6], [12, 0], [0, 6], [6, 0], [6, 0], [12, 0], [6, 0], [12, 0], [12, 0], [0, 6], [0, 6], [12, 6], [6, 0], [6, 0], [12, 6], [12, 0], [12, 0], [0, 6], [6, 0], [12, 6], [12, 6], [12, 6], [12, 0], [12, 0], [12, 0], [12, 0], [12, 6], [12, 0], [12, 0], [12, 6], [0, 6], [0, 6], [6, 0], [12, 6], [12, 6], [12, 6], [12, 6], [12, 6], [12, 0], [0, 6], [6, 0], [12, 0], [0, 6], [12, 6], [12, 6], [0, 6], [12, 0], [6, 0], [6, 0], [12, 6], [12, 0], [0, 6], [12, 0], [12, 0], [12, 0], [6, 0], [12, 6], [12, 6], [12, 6], [12, 6], [0, 6], [12, 0], [12, 6], [0, 6], [0, 6], [12, 0], [0, 6], [12, 6], [6, 0], [12, 6], [12, 6], [12, 0], [12, 0], [12, 6], [0, 6], [6, 0], [12, 0], [6, 0], [12, 0], [12, 0], [12, 6], [12, 0], [6, 0], [12, 6], [6, 0], [12, 0], [6, 0], [12, 0], [6, 0], [6, 0]]
df = pd.DataFrame(L, columns=('a', 'b'))
then you can do as suggested in this answer, using groupby.size()
:
tab = df.groupby(['a', 'b']).size()
tab
looks as follows:
In [5]: tab
Out[5]:
a b
0 6 19
6 0 20
12 0 33
6 28
dtype: int64
and can easily be changed to a table form with unstack()
:
In [6]: tab.unstack()
Out[6]:
b 0 6
a
0 NaN 19.0
6 20.0 NaN
12 33.0 28.0
Fill NaN
s and convert to int
at your own leisure!
Solution 4:
import pandas
x = [[12, 6], [12, 0], [0, 6], [12, 0], [12, 0], [6, 0], [12, 6], [0, 6], [12, 0], [0, 6], [0, 6], [12, 0], [0, 6], [6, 0], [6, 0], [12, 0], [6, 0], [12, 0], [12, 0], [0, 6], [0, 6], [12, 6], [6, 0], [6, 0], [12, 6], [12, 0], [12, 0], [0, 6], [6, 0], [12, 6], [12, 6], [12, 6], [12, 0], [12, 0], [12, 0], [12, 0], [12, 6], [12, 0], [12, 0], [12, 6], [0, 6], [0, 6], [6, 0], [12, 6], [12, 6], [12, 6], [12, 6], [12, 6], [12, 0], [0, 6], [6, 0], [12, 0], [0, 6], [12, 6], [12, 6], [0, 6], [12, 0], [6, 0], [6, 0], [12, 6], [12, 0], [0, 6], [12, 0], [12, 0], [12, 0], [6, 0], [12, 6], [12, 6], [12, 6], [12, 6], [0, 6], [12, 0], [12, 6], [0, 6], [0, 6], [12, 0], [0, 6], [12, 6], [6, 0], [12, 6], [12, 6], [12, 0], [12, 0], [12, 6], [0, 6], [6, 0], [12, 0], [6, 0], [12, 0], [12, 0], [12, 6], [12, 0], [6, 0], [12, 6], [6, 0], [12, 0], [6, 0], [12, 0], [6, 0], [6, 0]]
ps = pandas.Series([tuple(i) for i in x])
counts = ps.value_counts()
print counts
you will get the result like:
(12, 0) 33
(12, 6) 28
(6, 0) 20
(0, 6) 19
and for [(12,6)]
you will get exact number, here 28
more about pandas
, which is powerful Python data analysis toolkit, you can read in official doc: http://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/
UPDATE:
If order does not matter just use sorted:
ps = pandas.Series([tuple(sorted(i)) for i in x])
after that result is:
(0, 6) 39
(0, 12) 33
(6, 12) 28
Solution 5:
IMHO, pandas offers a better solution for this "tabulation" problem:
One dimension:
my_tab = pd.crosstab(index = df["feature_you_r_interested_in"],
columns="count")
Proportion count:
my_tab/my_tab.sum()
Two-dimensions (with totals):
cross = pd.crosstab(index=df["feat1"],
columns=df["feat2"],
margins=True)
cross
Also, as mentioned by other coleagues, pandas value_counts method could be all you need. It is so good that you can have the counts as percentages if you want:
df['your feature'].value_counts(normalize=True)
